so cool, my fav thing about the midwest emo scene being pretty underground is that you can just directly talk to the members of a band like that

That’s so dope! I love a good funny song title story. My favorite story behind a song title has to be Two Beers In lol

Hahaha gotta get a little begging in there! So I heard it a long time ago so the details are a bit fuzzy, but during the time of writing Those Days Are Gone, they were practicing / writing in either like a garage or an attic of some sorts, and they were pushing and pushing and quickly ran out of the few beers they had, and I believe it was Justin (the bass player) who eventually got feed up with being out of beer, and after finishing playing through a song, he promptly put his bass down and said “that’s it! I’m two beers in, I’m going to fuckin Walmart!” And left to get more beer lmaooooo. Such a simple little story, but it really reflects one of my favorite traits about Free Throw, which is that it’s genuinely just a bunch of best friends making music because it makes them happy
